x86/hw_breakpoints: Make default case in hw_breakpoint_arch_parse() return an error

When building with -Wsometimes-uninitialized, Clang warns:

arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:355:2: warning: variable 'align' is used
uninitialized whenever switch default is taken
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

The default cannot be reached because arch_build_bp_info() initializes
hw->len to one of the specified cases. Nevertheless the warning is valid
and returning -EINVAL makes sure that this cannot be broken by future
modifications.
